This was done after watching my three kids do a cartwheel.
The first one is my eldest, Anat (7.5), the second is Itamar (5.5) and the last is Noa (3.5).
It was funny to watch because each one has a lot of his/her personality in this move- Anat goes very cautiously and seriously into it, Itamar just fearlessly throws himself in without overthinking consequences (and broken body parts) and Noa just has a big laugh out of the whole thing

Just went for a smooth transition from one thing to the other, without too much planning of what comes next. it was great fun and rather quick to do
Done in less then 1 hour
comments are (always) welcome

Another rough exercise in traditional animation, just to loosen the hand a bit and study the weights and motion.
This one is following a joke I had with Ari Folman regarding the best way to get my laundry dryer aboard his boat. (This was at a point we thought that for our next feature we might move to france and I suggested I could save money on shipping by taking my stuff on his boat
done in about an hour and a half.
comment or thoughts are (always) appreciated.

this was done after watching and analysing how my son, Itamar, climbs a swing.
I never noticed before how his head almost touches the ground at some point. maybe it's just him. he has very strange ways of doing things.
done in one hour.

About this Blog

Most of my career as an animator revolved around fast, efficient animations, mainly Flash cutouts. Some time ago I got sick of the technicality of cutouts & decided to return to the basics of frame by frame animation. to get my hand back in shape I started doing Dailymations- short, sketchy, rough & FUN animations, more about mass and movement and less about fine, clean animation. each one about an hour's work (more or less).

Every now and then I'll post some of my other stuff, but this is mostly about dailymations.
